UK Sc2 Has been bubbling quietly for a long time now, never really making any breakthroughs. Right now there is a feeling going around that there's a lot of “almost there” players, looking for an opportunity to live Sc2.

For a few lucky people, this may just be that chance!


[image loading]

As of yet there is no date set, once a group of like minded individuals has been built, we will set a definite move in date that will accommodate the entire group fairly

September 1st is Looking to be the unofficial move in date so far, between the group that's already established. This will coincide with the end of MLG Raleigh

[image loading]

Possibly You!, Leave a comment in this thread if you are 18+ of Masters or higher skill level, and want to commit to playing sc2 for the foreseeable future.
If you aren't masters level yet, you've probably got a good month or 2 to buck up, or strap down.. and improve

[image loading]

Quite simple really. Property prices here are very low, and compared to the more major cities such as London, the price of living is extremely low. Between 4 people, the cost could be as low as 1 afternoon of work per person.

[image loading]

Plymouth!

There are quite a few properties we have our eye on at the moment, once the group is formed, we can discuss price/space much more clearly. The Property will be located within a 10 minute walk of the main train-station. You can travel the country in one afternoon on the train for as little as £20 if tickets are booked early enough.
A full highstreet/shopping centre, restaurant district and all the pubs/clubs/bars you could dream of will be located within 5-10 mins walk, all on a nice waterfront

[image loading]

- Get in touch for a more detailed breakdown, however assume an average cost of £50/week.
if £10 either way is going to make or break your decision, you probably need to think about something else
There's some very reasonable property available, which, when split between us all would come to roughly £40/week, and then there's larger much nicer property which would bring the costs to £50-55 possibly 60.

Once a reliable final group has been decided, we will budget according to the group.

[image loading]

For the love of the game, the time feels right, the opportunity is presented to us. Now is the time to take it!
My thread on a shared office space for Plymouth locals spurred me into action after receiving a great amount of interest [http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=235554&currentpage=4 ]

[image loading]

Once the group is assembled, There is more than likely going to be a long weekend of sc2 hosted at my abode. So we can meet, see how we get along after a few beers and a bbq and discuss everything in person before fully committing.

[image loading]

If you like the idea, but don't have the money, and feel unsafe about committing, I'd be more than happy to Have the right person come and stay for a week or so, to get a chance to see the area, and have a look for part time work (of which there is a LOT going round atm!)


-----
little update
-----
Due to the pretty intense level of interest so far, I'll update a bit about what i/we are looking for

Each slot in the house has an Associated value assigned to it, which is a combination of various criteria:
Personality - being personable, and in general easy going, respectful -has high value

Skill - Arguably the most important aspect towards Value, However if one person had enough of a "problem" in terms of group cohesion, then its very possible that the negative value they put on the other players, isn't worth their skill contribution

Ability to Commit - Players who can commit for longer time frame will add value to their slot in the house, as a result these players will receive higher priority come decision time.


So when contacting me just consider these simple things a bit, chances are if you know your a bit of an arse, its going to harm your chances :D:D

how badly do you suck?

How good do you think you could get in the next 6-8 weeks playing against masters opponents?

This is a good initiative to take! If I lived in plymouth and was employed I'd consider this. Sadly I'm down in swansea and jobless (but I do have an interview next week). Swansea's a really cheap place to live with alot of properties, hint hint

Trust me, being in a house with other Starcraft 2 players, can get you from bronze level, to masters level in a matter of a couple weeks, easily. I'd give it a go!

Change the business model to "SC2 summer camp" and you might get more people joining in. Definitely has potential with holidays coming up. Throw in a couple nights in the pub with the guys (and ladies?) and barbecues... nobody's gonna become a pro, but it'd be lots of fun I imagine.

business model?

Operating at a personal loss isn't a business model, it's a thing of passion

I'm not sure about the validity of a comment like "and you might get more" considering the age of the thread. Wait and see eh. No need to rush.

Feel free to take you own advice though - not particularly interested in running a summer camp for kids tho
